ABSTRACT:
A cookie monitoring manager detects fraudulent updates to cookies on a computer. The cookie monitoring manager monitors cookies, and detects attempted write operations thereto. The cookie monitoring manager determines whether each detected attempted write operation is an attempt to write a fraudulent affiliate identifier to a cookie. The cookie monitoring manager detects fraudulent write attempts, for example, by detecting an attempt to write a known fraudulent affiliate identifier to a cookie, by detecting an attempt to write to a cookie by a process other than a browser or by detecting multiple attempts to write affiliate identifiers to a cookie within a sufficiently short period of time. When the cookie tracking manager detects an attempt to write a fraudulent affiliate identifier to a cookie, it can block the write attempt and/or run an adware removal program on the computer.
